Yeah, Slowiak killed my list. I also had a few other high scorers on my "lemme just make a team" but i decided to try and be all fancy and do a spreadsheet and forgot that the first rule of paintball is that anything can happen.

Don't take it personally, Nick. My metrics showed that you had one of the highest possible efficiency scores of all the players (factoring in the "salary", kills, points, penalties and HOBs). Plus, I'm a fan, so I would have picked you, anyway.

Respectfully, I disagree. While I agree that it's not a complete random sampling (ie. Monte Carlo), I highly doubt he applied any sort of paintball sabermetrics equivalent. By the podcast after World Cup, he even jokes about he's the "fantasy paintball master." I, honestly, think he did his selection to instill a sense of confidence in his players with actually winning the contest being a happy side product. I can, however, see your point, John.

I guess rather than "dartboarding it" I should have said "choosing without overthinking," a "gut feeling," or something to that effect.
